Surf Tip:
• Maximize the wave until the end by transitioning your rails toward the foam as the wave loses power, using the foam's energy to continue riding.
• Lower your front hand slightly while compressing and looking at the foam; before reaching it, shift your gaze forward, decompress, and re-compress when the foam hits the tail to maintain balance.
Portugal
Surf Tip:
• Use your back arm to push down and apply more pressure on your back foot when initiating the bottom turn.
• When decompressing, focus on defining your direction down the line, then re-compress to drive through the section quickly, using a forward line to regain speed.
Portugal
Surf Tip:
• Make the rail transition smoother instead of rigid to maintain better flow and control through the turn.
• Keep your front foot more aligned forward, as too much sideways positioning causes imbalance during the transition.
Portugal
Surf Tip:
• Identify the pocket of the wave early and avoid over-angling the board; focus on making soft and smoother transitions.
• Read the wave’s potential to surf longer rides, exploring different zones through rail-to-rail transitions.

Surfing is about feeling the wave's energy, not forcing it. Flow with the ocean, use clean transitions, and read the wave to unlock its full potential. You are on the right path and show great potential!
